MSI Launches MPG COREFROZR AP15 CPU Cooler with Integrated Dispay

MSI has launched the MPG COREFROZR AP15, its first air cooler with an integrated display built into the top cover. The cooler uses a dual-tower design with asymmetric tower widths, six 6 mm copper heat pipes, and a copper base. The DIGI-DISPLAY top cover module connects via magnetic POGO-PIN contacts and MSI's EZ Conn single-cable connection, showing real-time CPU, GPU, and memory temperatures, loads, and frequencies without additional software. In terms of dimensions, MSI says that the heatsink measures 168 x 126.5 x 128 mm and has 102 fins. The two included 120 mm ARGB fans operate at different speeds. The front fan runs at 2000 RPM with 66.41 CFM and 1.98 mmH2O static pressure at 31.1 dB(A), while the mid fan is quieter at 1600 RPM, 54.14 CFM, 1.30 mmH2O, and 25.06 dB(A). Both are PWM controlled.

MSI MPG COREFROZR AP15 cooler is compatible with Intel LGA1700 and LGA1851, and AMD AM4 and AM5 platforms. According to MSI, the cooler was designed with AMD Ryzen X3D processors in mind, so even without any official information regarding its thermal capabilities, it should handle pretty much all CPUs well. In China, it's priced at 549 yuan, around $82, however international pricing and availability have not been confirmed yet.

I personally don't understand the need for displays in coolers besaids to have some bling. It's way faster to check temps from a monitoring software/OSD.

If you have one running, otherwise you can just glance at your cooler with this. If they keep making these clearly some people are buying.

Monitoring apps (especially when bundled into crappy "software suites" from manufacturers) are notoriously rubbish. Inefficient and invasive. Often a culprit to gaming stutters.

But this cooler connects to a single MSI motherboard header:
MSI's EZ Conn single-cable connection, showing real-time... without additional software.
In theory, this avoid complications caused in a Windows environment and stealing system resources.

Some people do not mind having the pc tower on the table next to the mouse where they sit.

A fish tank case + some anime figures + a proper desk is a possible use case for such a Display Tower Cooler. Most likely also some anime themed keyboard with custom keys etc.

It is a proprietary connector which, incidentally, is only available on selected boards.

Software like HWInfo64 exists, do people still use those crappy bloatware ones?

Hardware info shows also nonsense and is ADWARE. It seem some users here distinguish between ADWARE and Malware, HWINFO is in the malware section in my definition.
Note: there are two pop ups on every launch, which no one really reads most likely, they ask you to buy it.

I do not know of any proper software, that includes lm_sensors and smartctl also.

-- The vendor ones should work better.
CORSAIR fails for over 4 or more years wiht the corsair mp 600 pro in w10 pro and w11 pro

Samsung fails on differetn drives in W10 Pro and W11 Pro. Samsung magician should read out all values, but it does not for "some" SAMSUNG drives. Also does not work with SAMSUNG HDD, i have two of those installed.

Feel free to share your decent working software. without hwinfo that is crapware.

i just read again,
smartctl - Control and Monitor Utility for SMART Disks
, that shows what a mess it is.

I tick the sensors-only and no popups after that. Why I would it need to show system info since CPU-Z and GPU-Z do the same job better.

I agree. Proprietary (Windows) software induces heavy nausea in me. Not to mention this cooler looks unserviceable AF.

IMO the ability to maintenance an air cooler should always be a thing. That's why I hated my old Arctic Freezer 50 even though I didn't have any problems with its non-standard fans, but in the longer run, fans don't last forever.

Gave it to my brother and I have spare fans to ziptie on it if it needs service in the future though.

??? The stuff you read online these days... I get ZERO popups on startup. It has NO ads. The personal license is free for personal use.
